What is a Poem

Is a Poem,
a Poem
before its committed to a medium that can be shared (such as,paper,or a web site such as this?)
or is it just  a group of thoughts,free radicals running amuck in the brain,
a collection of emotions,anecdotes?


I think we have to be careful,before we commit our thoughts to such a medium,
Think about the potential effects they might have, on others specially,
if we seek to persuade others to a personal held point of view one might argue this is
a wrong-headed use of the artform.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
